I do not know much about virtualbox, but can give some pointers about qemu: I do not know exactly what you mean with the item above: Do you want to: (i) build LFS/BLFS in the virtual machine, or (ii) just have it as a guest OS, after building it on the host machine?
For (i), the best is to install a standard distro on the virtual machine, then build LFS/BLFS with this distro. For (ii), you can: - copy an existing LFS/BLFS to a virtual disk (using for example qemu-img), or - use qemu-nbd to see a virtual disk as a system disk, and build to that disk (you need the nbd kernel module, and the nbd-client utility). > --is it possible to install the guest blfsOS first then install the hostOS > then somehow containorise the guest to run as a user process???? > I think qemu as a "user" mode, which does just that. I have not much played with it.
